UCLA stem cell research may lead to new treatments for many diseases

Researchers affiliated with the UCLA Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine have discovered two genes that are involved with the immune system and are related to the functioning of stem cells . Progenitor cells are similar to stem cells because they have a tendency to differentiate into a specific type of cell; however, they are more specific than a stem cell and can be driven to develop into a "target" cell.
